Eye Injury Care from Our Ashburn Optometrist

Some parts of the body were simply never meant to take abuse and that includes the sensitive tissues of the eyes. Acute impacts, corneal abrasions, foreign objects, corrosive liquids,
and other painful encounters can cause serious discomfort and even loss of vision. When trouble finds your eye, it's good to know where to find skilled eye injury care and you can obtain
that care from our Ashburn optometrist at OptimEYES, Dr. Mohanan.

Common Eye Injury Issues

Anyone can experience minor eye irritation from a random speck of dust, allergen, infection, or temporary dryness. These situations may subside on their own or they may benefit from
routine care at our clinic. An eye injury, however, often poses a more immediate threat to your ocular well-being. Damage to the affected eye may grow progressively more severe the
longer you go without treatment, with some types of injuries potentially causing permanent vision loss. Common kinds of eye injuries include:

Scratched Eye - A scratched eye may result from even the smallest particles scraping against the tissues of the sclera or cornea. If the cause goes untreated, corneal
scratches may form scar tissue that interferes with normal vision.

Embedded Object - Objects thrown from machinery or blown by strong winds may actually embed themselves in the eye. These objects not only cause severe pain
and acute vision problems, but they also open the door to dangerous infections.

Impact Injury - A blunt impact to the eye can cause obvious, acute injury, not just to the eye itself but also to the bones and tissues surrounding it. In addition to
the proverbial "black eye," you may also experience bleeding in the eye or inflammation of the iris.

Our Eye Doctor Is Ready to Help

You should always treat an eye injury as an emergency if only to prevent more extensive damage from occurring. Start by calling our clinic and asking for any specific instructions. Once you
arrive at OptimEYES, our eye doctor can quickly and accurately assess the problem and provide the necessary first aid. We can remove foreign objects, wash out chemicals, apply
bandages, prescribe anti-inflammatory or antibiotic medication, and refer you to any specialized care you might need, including surgery.

Don't Delay Treatment - Contact OptimEYES Today!

Don't assume that your eye injury can wait for treatment. Take immediate action by calling OptimEYES at (703) 687-4719. A timely trip to our optometrist could make all the
difference to your eyesight!

"If I could give them 6 stars, I would. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was very friendly, caring, attentive, and professional, not like your typical doctor's office where you feel like just another number. Astrid, Salma, and Natalia were very thorough and meticulous in taking care of my partner, as was the optometrist. My partner now has 20/20 perfect vision and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended."
